"Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding." Proverbs 3:5

Points to Ponder ...

"My children may bicker, and I may—almost certainly will—complain. But the bickering and the griping are chaff, and what’s left when the winds of time carry them away are the golden kernels I want to savor..."

I Don't Even Care Anymore.

On the other hand, I've been telling my daughter that we can't just go get a video from the rental place anymore -- since it's 10 miles away, and we get 20 miles to the gallon, that makes two round trips at over 4 bucks apiece .. plus the cost of the rental itself ... for a total of way too much for a stinkin' video rental.

We get dvd's from Blockbuster Online. They come in the mail. You can mail them back (postage paid by Blockbuster) or bring them in to a local BB and get a free rental in exchange while you wait for your next movie to come in the mail. We pay $12 and it has been absolutely worth it. They have many, many titles not available on the shelves at the local store.

We use Netflix, have for years, and love them. They even have little notes on movies for parents that tell you when might be objectionable in the films! That is a huge help, when some PG-13 moves should be R and some PH movies should be PG-13!
But I know what you mean about gas. It is killing us. Hubby has started riding his bike to work, 8 miles a day round trip!

Oh, man, we feel your pain!! We live forty miles from civilization. We're dying out here! We're an hour from Mass and that's where the gas dollars get to go. Here's praying there's some kind of relief from this!

I could have posted this! Seriously, yesterday, I had myself a little hissy fit at the gas station about the price. No one really heard me. I seemed like the insane lady behind the wheel just shouting, "Four dollars? FOUR dollars! Four DOLLARS!!!!!" to herself every now and then. Just like a nut. And I gave poor Essie (who happened to be on the errand with me, poor kid; the other two were with their daddy at home) a whole lecture on oil.

We are a Catholic homeschooling family of 7, a blend of step children, bio children and adoptees, making our way to heaven the best way we know how! Here's a record of our journey, with thoughts on anything we care about--mostly homeschooling, faith and finding a way to make it all work for each of us. Thanks for stopping by, and enjoy your visit!
